When tender, add more water if necessary and add the other ingredients.

Cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.

Add the butter beans and allow to simmer for just a few more minutes or until gravy is thick.

Have it your way!

N.B. Consider using a pressure cooker to reduce the cooking time. Remember also to set aside more time if uncooked beans are instead, it will need to be cooked separately first. Note also that food browning is sometimes used instead of frying the oxtail brown.
